...Is this such a common occurrence in Denmark that i need to know how to say this?
It is incredibly common. Every alleyway has that one man who is willing to share his 'special' cheese

why "The boy eats the cheese of the man" is not correct? (i'm not native english speaker, but it makes sense in my brain....:) )

You would be more likely to see phrasing like that in literature, like "The man eats the fruit of the tree". However in normal day to day speech no one would say it that way. Unless they wanted to sound pretentious haha.

I guess it's correct, but it's just so far from the original phrase that it's not accepted. Also, that's awkward, clunky English.
